We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
